  Does not mean it is enforced look at the cannabis status in different states and the lack of federal prosecution.

    Except this is a procedural law, enforcement happens judicially in court. Cannabis is a law enforcement and prosecutor discretion thing. If prosecutors brought a cannabis case to court the judges would enforce the law. But the DOJ has opted to deprioritize cannabis enforcement unilaterally.

    It would be a serious mistake to mix up "they aren't currently" and "they can't".

    of course not, they would need 10x their current police force to even start to do something like that. But if it's obvious constitutional laws are broken in an egregious way and the locals are obviously ignoring it, the Feds have stepped in many many many times in the past.
